    Boeing Style MCP knobs

    Anyone knows where to get boeing style MCP knobs. Especially the VS wheel. I can't seem to find them anywhere. The only ones i've seen is the one included in the FDS MCP package. Anyone knows of anywhere which sells them separate? How about the pesdestal panels. I only need a few. is it a must to buy all of them together?

    the encoder card from opencockpits will accept input from most common rotary encoders. I dont have a clue what kind of rotary encoders real VS wheels have though.

    then the type of iocard is irrellevant. You could use L shaped brackets.

    Encoder

    THe rotary encoder is threaded on the outside of the housing that the shaft you turn goes through. You drill a hole in the bracket large enough for the encoder to go through and then fasten it with a nut.
